just purchased a 2002 v70 have questions
Hello I just purchased a 2002 v70 non turbo it's mint inside and out. I could not pass up the deal for a whopping $350. The question I have is the timing belt spun and I hear cylinder #5 slapping and banging. so I am going to purchase a new used motor. I found a t5 turbo and was wondering if I could put it in with out the turbo would it bolt up the same ? I also found a 2002 s60 non turbo w/150 on it for $150 . Just wondering if ether of these engines would work. any input would be greatly appreciated.

I would go with a non-turbo engine if the car is a non-turbo now. The S60 engine should work fine as it is non-turbo and the same model year.... If you go with the S60 engine (or any other engine for that fact), I would change the timing belt and all associated pulleys/tensioners before puting it in or you might find yourself in the same position you are now a few thousand miles down the road.

right, the turbo blocks generally run lower compression (9:1 vs 10.5 or 10.8:1) so if you run a T block without the turbo you'd lose some performance. I'm not sure which is easier - replacing/repairing the head on the existing motor or swapping out the entire motor... check out car-parts.com to look for used heads or motors in your area (and to get a price check)
